And there's another one...

Well, yet another happy hour for the co-workers. This one was for a happy occasion, as two members of my team were engaged last weekend - strangely to other people who work at the company. The whole company is just a matchmaking vortex.

Tomorrow is the big happy hour. It's the "well, it's time to say goodbye" party as we send off all of our former co-workers. That should involve a great deal of drinking.

Back to tonight. Another two of my team members know know their boss is gay. It's not a big deal at work, there are many other gay people at work, still, I've managed to fly under the radar. It's not that I was trying to hide, I'd answer if asked, but I didn't work to make it an issue. (I will admit that I was worried about saying anything my first year there, but I learned that the corporate culture is pretty favorable) The rumor had gotten out awhile back, so I was just confirming what one guy had heard. The other girl was surprised, but cool. I'm interested to see how the guy takes it - he seemed like he was trying to hard to be cool about it. I think it's just a soaking in period for him. The whole thing came up when the discussion turned to marrage, and I explined that I don't think that will happen for me (and that it isn't legal in Texas right now).

Out at work...good or not?

Congrats on being open at work. I think if you know it won't affect your work environment then being out takes away the need to lie and/or cover up your personal life( making it a MUCH less stressful work situation) Hope things continue to remain goood in your work relationships....Quick question, So what's up with your ipod battery dying? Please explain(my ipod's charge doesn't seem to last the stated 10hrs)

Just stumbled upon your journal randomly...

Congrats on being out at work, I think it's a great decision, but definitely a hard one. I personally haven't come out to my parents yet and living in a very small town I can't afford to come out at work until I come out to them. But I do eventually want to, I think it makes life a lot easier...
